I know remote start is available with fordpass but my cell service can be spotty.
Having worked at a dealer I checked to see what the difference between an XLT & Lariat is.
It looks like not much BCM & RFA wise & they both use 434MHz for keys & TPMS

Ford keeps saying you need to install the vehicle security module kit to get remote start with the fob which is BULL because the software is already in the BCM & IPC for Fordpass remote start

I ordered a 434MHZ key with the remote start button from Ali Express ($36 Canadian) & programmed it in using my 2 original keys.
Didn't need any Forscan changes ,once programmed in it just worked exactly like a Lariat!
Only difference with the key is it doesn't have a Ford logo on the back.
Even came with a battery!
A lot less expensive than the security module way

To program a new key without FDRS you need 2 keys already programed to the vehicle.
Remove the liner in the bottom of the center console.
You will see a indentation slot to place a key in there, its the back up slot in case the battery goes dead in the fob
.
Keep Foot OFF the brakes for entire procedure

Place the first programed key in the slot & press the start button
Wait 5 seconds & press start button again turning it off.
Within 5 seconds place second key in slot & press start button
Wait 5 seconds & press start button again turning it off.
Within 5 seconds place the unprogrammed key in the slot & press start button
You should see a message on the instrument cluster "Key Programing Successful" & the door locks will cycle

Re 2024 version
I'm guessing it would, but have not tried it on older versions
You would need to be careful on the key broadcast frequency

I believe 315MHZ is for flip keys & 433MHZ is for keyless in 2024

There is a white sticker on your key when you got it & frequency is printed on it
